What Guests Say
We stayed here for the final leg of our trip, and it was a fantastic way to wrap things up. On our first night, we went on a night safari and were incredibly lucky to spot seven (!!) white rhinos, along with many other animals — truly unforgettable. The next day, we did a rhino tracking experience in daylight, and our guide went above and beyond on both safaris to make sure we had the best experience possible. It's also very close to the Cheetah Conservation Fund, making it a great base for anyone wanting to visit this organization. The food was lovely, the lodgings were comfortable, and I treated myself to a full body massage at the spa — it was everything I hoped for and incredibly relaxing.

Absolutely beautiful location and setting. We had an elegant room overlooking one of the dams. We did the morning rhino game drive/tracking and saw a variety of buck, jackal, bat earred foxes as well as great rhino sitings. Dinner and breakfast was excellent. Alot of thought has gone into making it a high end experience.

This was planned to be a stop over night before getting to the airport to return back home so we booked something that looked nice but didn't expect too much as we only stayed 1 night. But this place vas the perfect place. They had so many different varied activities to book in and the food was great. We could easily have stayed longer! We managed to book hang by the pool, book in some massage and pedis at the spa and then in the morning after breakfast go for a course back riding tour before heading to the airport! We stayed in a family cabin so it was bigger than what we needed for that short stay. Staff was friendly and a plus was that a lot of the food, greens was locally grown.

Location of the hotel was very convenient and we loved the animals and birds that were roaming around the hotel. The breakfast was outstanding and the staff were very friendly. Accessibility for those with limited mobility was good as everything was on one level and there was ramp access to the main building.

We spent only 1 night there on our way back from Etosha. If I had to do it again, I would spend 1 or 2 more nights to enjoy the private reserve a little more. In addition to the wildlife, the views are really nice, red sand, mountains, Waterberg in the distance... Nice breakfast and restaurant in the evening. Staff was really firendly and helpful, as almost everywhere in Namibia, thank you ! The morning game is a must do !

We stayed at The Nest - wonderful private located property , 3km easy drive to Eagle Lodge. We self catered for breakfast but dined at the lodge in the evenings - friendly staff and great restaurant. We saw so much wild life from our acc plus during a booked sundowner . Our guide was very knowledgeable . We would highly recommend Otjiwa Safari Lodge / The Nest .
